A peaceful dt/ lies over there;
Hewer a heartache, never a care;
No more loozings t<fr brighter day*
Nor fruitless strivings for higher ways
Peace with the tvefld, at rest in God:
Home once more to the kindly sod.
Where roses bloom and the fresh gran waves
A gladsome vigil o'er Gracoland's graves.'
Some summer morning when skies are bright,
Some night in winter when snows are white:
It matters littlo the time nor when
Wo shall have dene with theatresr*f men:
Gone the way where our fathers 1*1,
Into the mystery of the dead;
Seeking tbo peaco the spirit craves.
Choosing a home 'midst Grace land's graves.
None can know the burdens borne,
Nor the cruel weight of yokes we’ve worn;
The broken idols were all our own.
The lips would smile when the heart would moan;
Bravely acting each one his part.
Hiding the dead hopes in the heart;
We com* lo the stilling of the waves.
And sunset leaves if* at Grace land’s graves.
And when we’re gone from the haunts of men,
Will the world have leu of sunshine then?
Will mother, sister, sweetheart, wife
Love more • f eternity, leu of life?
Are we budding n monument high and grand.
Or o dingy hovel upon the sand?
So wo ask our hearts os the mind n’erstrays
To the peaceful city of Gracdand's grave*.

When this Orest 'Spirit crested the
world be first made three men, all of the
name color. Then ho led Atom to a pool
of water and bode them jump In and
bathq. One of thorn, obeying at once,
leaped in in advance of his fellows, and
came out dean and white.
The other hesitated, but one soon fol
lowed tho first. When be went in tho
water had become somewhat stained
and ho camo out copper colored. ‘
Then tho third man went in. By that
time the water of tho pool had l>ecomo
black, and be was consequently black
when he had bathed. *
Thus it happens that there are white
men, red men and black men in the
world.
Then the Great Spirit laid down three
packages before tho three men, which
contained their future fate. Out of pity
for the black man ho permitted him to
have his first choico of the parcels.
The black bum, without hesitation,
took the largest of tho parcels; tho red
man, whose turn was next, took tho
next largest parcel, and tho whito man
got the remaining one, which was very
small.

Wouldn't He “Scoop.,!" Even In Heath.
There is. there ever has been, and
most likely always will be a feeling of
antagonism between morning and even
ing papers, and it is a fact that, even
when both papers are tho property of
ono person or company, tho forces em
ployed will exert themselves to their ut
most to get a “scoop” on each other.
Tho news was received ono day that tho
editor of a great morning daily had com
mitted suicide. Tho report camo in snch
a manner that the city editor of an after
noon sheet felt it advisable to send 4 re
porter and get at tho truth of the mat
ter. Tho reporter learned, of courso,
on his arrival at tho morning paper of
fice that he was working on a faiso
rumor, but bo thought it would be a
good scheme to interview tho editor and
see what ho had to say regarding the re
port.
He entered his room and saw the sup
posed suicide seated at his desk. When
he had explained his mission the editor
snapped ont vehemently, “Well, do 1
look like a man who has committed sui
cide?" The reporter waa obliged to de
clare that he looked very little like a
dead man, whereupon the editor roared
ont, “And if I had committed suicide do
yon think I would be fool enough to do
it in time for an evening paper!-—Chica
go Herald.
He Changed 111* Htot.
A vegetarian of this city has become a
flesh eater since he discovered a scientific
law that he had not previously been
aware of. Ho changed bis mind npon
the diet question, and got convinced that
meats were among tho proper edibles for
mankind after he had been assured by a
professor of chemistry that beef, mutton
and pork were merely "transformed
grass, vegetables and grain.” After pon
dering npon this interesting law of chemi
cal transformation ho came to the con
clusion that vegetarianism, is a doctrine
of narrow scope, and he adopted n now
dietetic policy, under which ho now en
joys tenderloin steaks, lamb chops and
fried bacon, not to speak of stewed Idd-
ney, pigs’ feet and teto de vsau.—New
York Sun.
A Cut* Littlo Jap.
1 saw on tho street a little Jap toddling
along by tho side of n stoat old Jap,
whom I took to bo his father. Tho
youngster wore a tunic, or whatever it
should bo called, of brilliant blno and
knickerbockers green os gross. But tUiw
gayoty did not extend beyond his clothes.
Tho weight of ages seemed to rest upon
his infantilo brow—he could not have
been more than 4 years old—and it is
certain that bis infuntile legs had bent
beneath the burden. Ho was an object
of conscious pride on the part of his
father, of lively curiosity on the part of
pcoplo in the street, and was much more
foreign in nppearnnco than any other
hnman creature that I have ever seen.—
Boston Poet.
now to Kill EngUah Ha,leer,.
Practically, it is said, tho only way to
kill tho English badgers is to stop their
“earths” in tho covers nlong the hillside
while they nro ont on their midnight
foraging expeditions, and then hunt them
away with tho hounds; for tho badger, is
ono of the craftiest of animals, and often
outwits tho dogs. Ho will not touch a
poisoned bait, and an old badger, it is
said, will “throw" a hundred traps with
impunity. To dislodgo tho animals from
their retreats, if they once gain tho earth,
is next to an impossibility. They are
most expert and rapid borrowers.—
Youth's Companion.
Then the men opened their packages.
That of tho black man was found to
contain shovels and other implements of
labor; the red man's contained bows and
arrows, and the wbith man’s small pari
cel consisted of pens, ink and tools for
fine, light work.
From that time on each man mado
use of the tools ho had chosen.—Cor.
Youth's Companion.
New York's Ink Industry.
New York is entitled to consideration
as tho leading city of tho Union in the
manufacture of ink. Fifteen years ago
English mk controlled tho market. Since
then tho American article has been
gradually pushing tho British product
out of tho market by its superiority and
excellence. There is a great difference
between tho wholesale and retail price
of the flnid. A littlo bottle of ink con
taining two ounces, for which a person
pays five cents, costs at tho factory one
cent. The bottles are really more valu
able than the ink they contain.
The beet black ink is mado from the
gall nut and iron. The gall nnt is found
in Arabia, and is about tho size of a
hickory nnt and grows on a small, scrub
by oak. A largo majority of the col
ored inks are made from tho extracts of
coal tar. Tbo most expensive colored
ink used for ruling is carmine, mado
from the cochineal bag. Tho cochineal
bug is raised with much care in Mexico.
The dye from this bug is worth $15 u
pound. Since cochineal dye is becom
ing scarce ink makers are compelled to
use an inferior red color from coal tar.
The ten different colored inks are all
made from tho extract of coal tar. White
ink is made for writing on bladk paper,
bat tbe demand for it is not very great.

A Una Throwing Gun.
Another addition to the list of recently
invented life saving devices is the shoul
der lino throwing gnu, invented by Capt.
D'Arcy-lrving, of the English royal navy.
The invention consists of a Bhonlder gun,
having the cop or coil of line, suspended
in a cose, carried under the breech of the
gun. A rod is inserted in tho barrel, the
fore end of the rod being connected with
the end of the line, which is in the center
of tho cop. Tho Uae is 144 yards long;
and tho chArge of powder used is two
drams. Upon the gun being fired at a
high elevation the rod is projected'up
ward and forward, carrying tho lino trail
ing after it. Tho objoet is, of coarse, to
land the line over tho ship or other object,
the rod dropping behind it. By this
means a rope can be mado fast to tho tail
end of the lino by the succoring party, and
bo battled on board by those in distress.

A Story of Schiller.
A carious incident is handed down
from the boyish life of ,Schiller. One
day, in a tremendous thunderstorm, the
family gathered together in iU disguised
terror. But Fritz waa missing, and the
father, alarmed for his safety, sought
him in vain in all the roomaof the house.
Ho went outdoors to sesrch for the
truant, and to his surpriso found him
perched on a branch of a solitary tree,
eagerly watching tho heavena and the
flashes which lighted up tho gloom. Ho
was wholly indifferent to tbe rain, which
had wet him to tho skin, and to thedan-
ger he incurred. 'To tho sharp reproof
of tho father tho boy replied with a
glowing face:
“Tho lightning is so beantifnll wished
to see where it came from.’’—Boston

I have often read in stories of boys who
were fond of nature, and loved her sub
limity and beauty, but I do not believe
boys are ever naturally fond of nature.
They want to make use of the woods and
fields and rivers; and when they become
men they find these aspects of nature
endeared to them by association, and so
they think they were dear for their own
sakee, but the taeto for nature is a* purely
acquired as the taste’Cor poetry or the
taste for tom* toes. I have often seen
boys wondering at tho rainbow, but it
waa wonder, not admiration, that moved
them; end I have seen them excited by a
storm, but because tho storm waa tre
mendous, not because it waa beautiful.
